League Treatment Center To Take Poplar Police Building

To the chagrin of many Brooklyn Heights residents, any chance that the former 84th Street Precinct building at 72 Poplar Street would be converted to housing is now gone. According a tipster, a lease went out last week to the League Treatment Center, a program for developmentally and emotionally challenged that is losing its lease at 30 Washington in Dumbo in a couple of years. This possibility was originally floated in the Brooklyn Eagle back in November; as recently as December 19, however, area residents were lobbying CB2 to support a residential variance for the 30,000-square-foot building in the hopes of avoiding this very outcome.

I bet the people on poplar are not too happy cause it won’t help their property values. Keep bringing down those property values!!! Keep on plummeting!!
The League Center did not adversely effect eal estate prices in DUMBO why should it in Brooklyn Heights? While I would rather see the building turned into high-end residential, I know that the owner is perhaps the most inept developer on the East Coast and obtaining the special permit -a standard procedure- is beyond him, so this use is OK. At least it will not continue being vacant. Why are the very worst and most inept developers attracted to Brooklyn Heights?
Hi, St. Ann here. I have to say I’m not happy with the rude little bastards that go to my namesake school. They’re entitled little pretentious rich kids who get “no grades” so can therefore follow their muse (heathens) to whatever drug addled end it leads them.
God Bless!
I think 2:46 is kidding.
I think.
oral sex orgies, X, and whipppets?
Yes, definitely kidding. I hope.
I think the kids at st ann are far more difficult than the kids that will be coming to Poplar st. the kids from st anns all act like they have entitlement: entitled to be rude, throw litter everywhere, block the sidewalks, oh and did i say be rude? maybe the learning centere will have their kids better disciplined and behaved and far more appreciative of an opportunity to learn.
oh, and 2:46: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING?
Geez, I didn’t know about the drugs, but i have always thought that kids from St. Ann’s were amazingly rude and snooty. But maybe that is their home environment, why blame it all on the school?
On the other hand the kids in my building who go to PS 8 are perfectly nice normal kids. No “goth divas” or the like.
My child goes to St. Ann’s and it is laughable that you people think that by posting some claptrap on a blog that you can disparage what is indisputably a unique, amazing institution of higher learning (pun NOT intended, idiots). Of course there are drugs around, go to ANY school and tell me there aren’t any drugs. And sure, they have anal and oral sex orgies from time to time while high on X and whippets–but take a trip over to Berkeley Carroll or out to Poly Prep and tell me that the students there aren’t indulging in similar “steam blowing off” behavior. Wake up people, it’s 2008 and kids are just bein’ kids and will always just be kids. Lighten up and get used to the fact that this new generation is more mature than you were at the same age and will, with places like the amazing St. Ann’s nurturing them, change this world for the better. And, incidentally, own large parts of it and live VERY comfortably while supporting me and my wife in our dotage.
Good day.
Many of the kids put themselves through school that way.
